However, figuring out how to watch Monday Night Football isn’t as straightforward as it used to be — especially if you’ve cut the cord on cable since last season. If you’re still figuring out how to livestream the Ravens vs. Chargers game tonight, read on for our quick guide on how to watch Monday Night Football live online without cable.
The majority of Monday Night Football games are broadcast on ESPN, but a handful of games are also shown on ABC, and a couple are simulcast on ESPN+. If you don’t have cable, you’ll want to get a live TV streaming service that carries ESPN and, ideally, ABC as well. Below are some of our favorite live TV streaming services that carry both channels.
DirecTV Stream carries ESPN and ABC to get you livestreams of every Monday Night Football game, including tonight’s Ravens vs. Chargers game. Subscriptions begin with a five-day free trial, and then pricing starts at $79.99 a month. You can also add the Sports Pack add-on for even more football coverage, which DirecTV Stream is offering (essentially) for free for two months.
One of our favorite way to watch Monday Night Football games without cable is Hulu + Live TV, which includes ABC and ESPN in its lineup of 95+ channels. Even better: Hulu + Live TV includes free access to ESPN+ (and Disney+), providing another way to watch MNF games online. Hulu + Live TV costs $76.99 a month, and you get a three-day free trial to start.
Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV bundles together Hulu’s on-demand library and over 95 live TV channels, including local channels and almost all popular national channels. Subscriptions also include ESPN+ and Disney+ at no additional cost. Hulu + Live TV costs $76.99 a month after a three-day free trial.
Sling is a more affordable live TV streaming service, with their top-end Orange + Blue package costs $60 a month. This package gets you live access to 46 popular TV channels, including ESPN and ABC to watch Monday Night Football.
